SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is a grateful spectacle to behold. the Church of Rome, or any distinguished part of it, employing its influence, whether more or less formidable over a Catholic community, for the advancement of a, system of law and freedOm,. as -opposed to one of arbitrary power. We bevel not often see» a Popish priesthood sincere in their support ofrt liberal government, or in their sympathy with an oppressed people. Without searching for causes, the fact is proved by almost inva riable experience. Church and King, the two great potentates, of the world—one (we mean, of course, in Roman ,Catlilic states) bestriding the imaginations of men, the other domineering over their actions, appear to have 6uried the remembrance of ancient jealousies in prosecution of a league, offensive and • defensive, against all attempts of human reason to encroach upon the empire of authority. In this respect the clergy'of Spain and Portugal have displayed a striking contrast. But it is one which, so far as the Spanish priests are concerned, may be aceounted for by a single observa tion, namely, that on the aura of the scale in behalf of a constitutional or of a despotic Government, depends the breaking up of.the whole mass of church property, or its continuance (for a short time, though of that they are ignorant) unmolested in its present magni tude and form. No; respectable Government can stand in Spain without coming upon the church reve nues for assistance.. It is not that there exists no other fund fur paying the interest of any portiOn of the debt, and discharging the first obligations of ho nour. But that, in truth, without some loans of money, capricious, and not very considerable, from the church, ,Ferdinand, with' his incomplete, half starved, and less than half loyal crowds of civil func tionaries—his half-el:1A troops, and defrauded custom houses, could not have lingered on for the few years that have passed Since the subversion of, the Cortes. The very first step of an efficient Government in Spain, mug be a determined and extensive appropriation of church-lands and riches to the exigencies of the public service. Therefore, in one word, the Spanish priests are irreconcileable enemies to whatever tastes of na tional institutiom It is otherwise with the dignitaries of the Portuguese Church. We have never read an appeal to a reasoning people in favour of their public rights and liberties more animated, or more earnest, than a "'pastoral letter" just circulated among the Portuguese, by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon. This wise and upright prelate draws a forcible dis tinction between the recent constitution of the Cortes, whereby every thing was torn from the Crown, and no connexion or relation preserved between the ancient customs, usages, and laws of the realm, and the new enactments of those theoretic patriots, who piqued themselves more on inventing plausible devices, than in adjusting the means of Government handed down feom antiquity, to the wants of modern times. The Patriarch tells the people, that the charter accorded to them by Don Pedro, is but a revival of the old na• tional institutions in an ameliorated form ; that the three estates of the kingdom recognized for six cen turies, have here their substantial representatives ; and that, as well in its Royal origin, as in its prospective provisions, the charter merits the active support of every honest, loyal, and conscientious Portuguese. It seems to us impossible that so authoritative and impres sive a State document can fail of producing important advantages to the peace and happiness of the. kingdom. In the meantime, the worthy ('large d'4 . llltires from Portugal at Madrid, has refused to take the oaths to the Constitution, and has been replaced by the Secre tary of Legation. The progress of Portuguese revolt appears to receive a serious check in the incapacity or relucta»ce of the Spanish Government to encourage in any manner the wretched military rebels, who had been excited against the authority of the Regent. It is gravely proposed in a French liberal paper, that they shall turn Monks.--;Tintes. If men would be sincere .in what they are about, what a world of talking, and writing, and of pretence might be spared ! This is peculiarly the case with what is called the Greek cause. We should be sorry to be thought indifferent to the cause of constitutional liberty anywhere ; but we are widely mistaken if .the majority of those who talk so . loudly about the Greeks care one farthing, in reality, about them or their cause. In truth, John Bull is the most credu lous animal upon earth. Only rouse his sympathy, in titvour of any Will-o'-the-wisp, and lie will pursue it up hill and down dale, over quagmire, and through the very regions of romance, till he is absolutely lost in a 'maze of his own creating. To talk of" classic groun d " and.: " early associations ;" to suppose, because the early inhabitants of a country once were free, that . therefore their descendants sire "the son s of freedom,, and Capable of enjoying it, is one of those egregious errors which may be excusable in childhood : but is an inference which manhood and reflection ought to see the absurdity of. Ronie was once as much the cradle of liberty as Greece ;, but to talk of the modern Romans, and sunk as they are in the debasement of sr ) odious Superstition, as a people in whose favour a crusade in the cause of liberty should be undertaken, would strike even a schoolboy as the height of absur dity. What peculiar tendency to freedom the modern Greeks have shown; we have yet to discover. It is all very fine to talk of Marathon and Thermopylni, iif Homer and Alcibiades ; but who is there, because they have read of Brutus and of Cato, that would think it necessary to march an army or raise a loan for the purpose of dethroning the Pope ? And here it is tin fortunately that ournioderii patriotism hinges. Some one or two hundred enthusiasts raise a clamour about the Greeks ; the Pressis enlisted in the cause ;men's minds be coWe warm they know not why ; when in step the pa triots a the Stock Vxdiauge, and convert what was the virtuuus error of Shut ,feav into the interested cla mour of the many ; and the zeal for Grecian liberty is speedily convelitd into a mere by-word to raise or to' depress the g amblin g projects of those virtuous repre sentatives of British freedom, who congregate in, I•3ar tholomew-lanc. Now the simple truth is, that the have beeonie tribu, Greek islands, in process of time, taxies, colonies of the Turitikh Government, with' o and we strongly suspect whom they are a t p eace ; , i t may sound the ears of et few however unsalutary enthusiasts, that the P o wers of lauropt have just, ' t e t much right to send an arm am . t e nt to .I endeavour to wrest _ from us our territories n that 'n have to embar i quarter, as we or any other nett o crusade to deliver Greece from the hands of its p k rese n nt theorica possessors. 'We know how unpala!able, this may sound to the ears of those who take their oiNII for undeniable principles ; but else sober l • that to judgment of mankind must come to this conclusion at ast,. effect do what these enthusiasts desire, t period of is to yield in to that very principle, which at the earlies the French Revolution was so warmly and so just ly resisted in thia country , viz. t o acknowledge the right of one country, to interfere wantonly and gratuitously in the concerns of another. Such a principle, if once admitted, would resolve itself into a right of perpetual war; and when such a principle is mainly upheld to support the nefarious designs of a set of selfish stock jobbers and speculators, surely it behoVes those who have no such objects in view, to pause before they Wow themselves to be the instruments of a system wrong in itself, and still more wrong in its means and consequences.--Morning Herald. • Nov that commercial affairs have evidently taken a favourable turn, it is amusing to see the shifts to which the croakers are obliged to have recourse; in order, as the saying is, to let themselves down easily. We mean that class of them particularly who try to increase the sale of their periodical publications, and, benefit themselves, by foreboding evil.. At one time they could hardly find words sufficiently strong to depict the horrors of the coming storm. Civil war, at famine, and pestilence, would desolate the country, unless Government came forward promptly and made a grant of money for the relief of the starv , ing population. Government made no grant of money. and held out no hopes that they could adopt any effec tual plans of relief, yet neither civil war, nor famine, nor pestilence, came ; on the contrary, trade in a short time began to show symptoms of revival, and according to accounts from almost every quarter, it is now gradually, though slowly, recovering ; many who hadbeen thrown out of work have resumed their usual occupations, and others have obtained employment in making roads, or improvements in their respective districts. The writers to whom we allude are obliged, for consistency's sake, to give these favotirable reports from the country, but they ive them in such a manner as if they almost regretted the iinproveinent which has begun. They have their fears on the occasion--they doubt the 'correctness of their reperts—they suspect that the change is only tAnporary, and that when the cold weather commences, and the rivers and the Baltic are frozen up, affairs will be in a worse state than ever. We wish them joy of this perverse ,desire to make every thing appear in the worst light. For our own part, we perfectly agree with Hume on this point, and would rather see the favourable than unfa vourable side of things ; « a turn of mind," he says, " which it is more happy to possess, than to be born to ten thousand a-year. Ihe same description of writers, towards the close of the last war, continued to fill their columns with similar ominous forebodings. There were no hopes for the country, unless Bonaparte were allowed to go on unmolested ; and even after France had been once overrun by the Allies, they persevered, on his return from Elba, to indulge in the seine &rimy strains. The battle of Waterloo came iipon'them like a thunderbolt. They had not even a loop-hole to escape by, and were obliged to confess that they were false prophets. It is not pro bable, however, that they will be reduced to such a dilemma in this instance. Trade and commerce do not, like a battle, take a decisive turn in.a few hours. —Weeks and months will elapse before they resume their wonted course, and these writers thus will have an opportunity of gradually adapting their effusions to the improved state of the country. During the crisis, We indulged ourselves in looking at the favourable side of things ; and we have now the satisfaction of think ing, that this point of view was not only the most pleasing, but the most correct.--/bid. One 'fact is better than twenty arguments in sup port of any system ; and as that regarding unrestricted commeree proceeds towards maturity, we have nO l doubt that similar facts to the one we are about to state will he Abided in abundance, as a corroboration of the soundness of the arguments advanced in favour of non-restrictive measures. We yesterday conversed with an operative lace manufacturedwho is just re turned from France, in consequence of his not being able to procure work there. He went out last spring, with several other lace weavers, from a manufactory in the Borough, and on their arrival in France they were instantly, employed at high wages; the most efficient' English workmen earning front three to four gnineas per week. But, since the opening of the ports, the Nottingham lace has been 6 imported into lralice so' freely, and at such low price, as to enable the manu facturers of it to undersell those of France ; and the consequence. is, that wages in the manufacture of lace in that country, have been already reduced above one half, and there is every probability, in the opinion of our informant, that a further reduction will shortly take place in the French manufactories. Although every day's reflection confirms us mere strongly in the belief that the non-restrictive commercial system will prove itself to be sound in practice, still we confess that we were not prepared to hear of such a result from it as the one we have stated in any of its branches, during the short period it has been in operation ; and we were somewhat sceptical, not as to the statement relative to the reduction of wages in France, but as to the continuance at this moment of the sale of Notting ham lace under the price of that made in Normandy and Picardy ; and we. therefore pointedly ask the indi vidual in question, who has' been practically engaged in the laeo manufacture these thirty years, if he did not consider this an experiment of some speculators at tempting to force a Market prematurely before a fair opening was offered to them ? His reply, was, that he knew the goods were selling at a fair profit ; and as to its being an experiment, it certainly, An his judg ment, was by no means a rash one, or put in execu tion without due information ; for the articles were admirably selected for French customers, and there appeared to be every symptom of permanence about the trade that was carrying on to that part of France where he was residing. The advocates., cur fencing trade with restrictions may shake their heads in deri sion of arguments; but we know not how they are to get rid of a fact like the one before us.—British ' ress .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.-HOUSE. --A Mr. Jaehoton was brought before the Loan MAYOR, charged with having broken the nose of a person named Hough, who is in the e,znploy of Mr. Blenkarn, the wharfinger. The complainant stated, that Mr. Jackson mine to the premises a few days ago, and after having had a feW words w►th Mr. Morgan, a clerk in the establishment, seized the Clerk by the throat, and seethed disposed to proceed to great violence with him. The coMplainant thereupon interfered, for the protection of the clerk, and the defendant instantly transferred his wrath to the mediator, knocked him down, and bloke his nose. "Broke your nose!" said the Lord Mayor. " Why, I see no symptom of the fracture." CoMplainant.-4 assure your Lordship that my nose is com pletely broken. The hone is smashed. The Loan Mavoa.—lt is not likely that a nose could be broken by violence without some palpable external Symptoin: I do not (loOking very closely at the complainant) see any mark of the kind. • Complainant, taking hold of his nose, and shaking about the fleshy, part of Here it is, my Lord, feel it, You'll find it is broken." (A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR,--I can only take the evidence of my eyes Upon the occasion, as you have no medical mass here to depose to the fracture of the bone. I really think you are mistaken. You complain of the violence which you say took place only a day, or two ago, and you show me u whole nose in all appearance, and declare that it is a broken one.--,(Laughter.) complainant.—Whatever may be thonght, my Lord, my noels is positively broken. 1 can fret the fracture here (again shaking his nose.) Besides my surgeon, after a thorough examination, told me that it was a broken nose, and he set it forme. The eyes of all in the Justice-room had been long fixed upon Mr. Hough's nose, and a buzz was beard generally expressive of incredulity on the point. The Loan Mavoa (to Mr. Blenkarn.)--Yerhape you have ascertained whether or nut Mr, Hough's nose is broken, or per haps you are qualified to judge from feeling it. (A laugh.) Mr. Illenkard shook,isis bead, and' would have nothing to do with the 'lope. The Loan MAYOR. ---I do not want to be considered as making a jest of this matter. I should think, Marshal, (addressing him self to Mr. Cope,) that you may be able to say whether there i* a fractur.. or not. Do try. Mr. Cope turned round to the complainant, as if he intended to feel the nose : but when he looked in the complainant's face, he suddenly drew back, and begged not to be asked to touch the noac.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR (to Harrison, the Marshalman.--Har rime, you must certainly be a judge, for your nose has been broken.—(A laugh.)—You can tell me whether Mr. Hough's nose has been broken. Harrison (shaking his own nose)—No, my Lord; my pose never has been broken. lam no judge.—(Laughter.)--Harrison declined any interference. In fact, no person (and there . were two or three hair-dressers in the Justice-room) could be prevailed upon to make the desired experiment. Every man was seen feeling his own nose during the investigation, but not a being would touch the nose that was the hone of contention. The LORD MAYOR, whether lie thought that the assault was most ridiculously exaggerated, or that the complainant received great provocation, or both, discharged the case, not, however, without receiving from the defendant, who is brother to Mr. Blenkarn's partner, a solemn assurance that he would go no more to the wharf. It is needless to say, after what is stated above, that the nose had every appearance of being perfect in all its parts. The skin was without a scratch; and the owner spoke without the slightest twang. NovaL CH AROI.—A woman of the town, named Thompson, wax charged by a watchman with having committed a felony.— " Upon whom had she committed a felony?" asked the Loan MAYOR.---" Upon me, your Lordship," said the watchman. " Very well, go on," said the Loan ALtyort. " What did she do to you?"---Watchman : She called me a thief, and other ille gal language. The Loan Mayoit—ls that the felony she committed upon you?-L--Watclunan : I consider that enough to bring her off with Me. The Loan MAYOR—Do you call illegal language a felony ? —Watchman My Lord, 1 think it a bad felony enough.— (Laughter.) A Constable, who smile() at the ignorance of the watchman, assured the Lord Mayor, that although the poor man mistook the nature of the woman . * offence, in twingiLe illegal language, she had committed a serious offence upon hintaelf. What is that? said his Loanslite—A misdemeanor, my Lord, said the Constable; she put her hand into my breeches pocket, and stole a sixpence out of it...--(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—YOU both seem to understand your business very well indeed. It having appeared that the woman was one of the worst about the City, and having been long in the habit of rubbing and in sulting men, the 14rd Mayor committed her to the House:of Cor 7 rection. WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday Edward Bedwin and William Harris, apparently ill or 17 years of age, there brought before Mr. ()aeons's, charged with robbing the garden of N. M. Rothschild, La y . at Stamford-hill. It appeared that about two o'clock .on Sunday the prisoners were detected by a person named John Scott, coming from the spot with a quantity of apples. On being spoken to, they threw down the apples and ran away, but were pursued and taken into custody. The fact of the robbery was proved by Mr. Rothschild's garde ner, and the prisoners were convicted under the act passed in the last session of Parliament, to ammod the former act which made e offence a felony. 'The present act makes it discretionary with the magistrate " either to commit the offender to the House Of Correction to be kept to hard labour for any time Not exceeding six months, or else to direct that be shall forfeit and pay treble the value of the property stolen, and, if the Justice shall so think tit, a further stun not exceeding 20!. and in default of payment to be committed as aforesaid. The prisoners were committed to the House of Correction and hard labour for three months. Edward and Samuel Swettertharn, two brothers, were after wards brought forward, charged with a similar offence. They were stopped in the neighbourhood of Clapton, between five and six yesterday morning, by Pyue and Marriott, two of the How-street patio'. They had in their possessidu two baskets and a handkerchief, which, on being questioned, they said con tained blackberries. On examination, however, their baskets were found to contain a large quantity of grapes. On .their way to the watchhouse, Edward, the elder brother, threW down his basket and ran away. The property, consisting of 48 large Ininchei of grapes, was produced, and proved to have been cut from a vine in front of the house of Mr. Cha r l es H um phreys. The prisoners told a long tale of their having found the grapes in afield about fivou'clock in the morning. The elder brother, who appeared to be about 80 years of age, was sentenced to three months imprisonment. The other, a mere. youth, to be confined six weeks. UNION-HALL—Yesterday John Jones, the proprietor and driver of a Greer.withstage-roach, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, M. SWAntv, E q ., charged with having assamited a gentleman sunned Terrett. . _ . The complainant st a t eA l, t h at on the preCious evening he got on the defentlant'a coach at Greenwich for the purpose of coming to town. The defendant alighted several times on the road and drank at various publie-houies. Before the coach got half the distance lie became comp l etely intoxicated, and therefore incapable of the anagament of th e ho r ses, and.when witness descended off m the roof with the intention of proceeding no further, be was followed by the defendant, who in au insolent tone demanded the full fare.

The Magistrate observed, that he had frequent opportunities of witnessing the gross behavi o ur, particularly of the Greenwich stage-coachmen, awl h e e h ot ,ht D ow enable Mr. Terrett to prose• ciao the defendant at the Sessions, AS an example to deter others of the same fraternity from pursuing similar misconduct towards the public.

William Waters, aged 17, Thomas Gardner, ,aged 19, George Duj; aged 17, and William Andrews, aged 17, were put to the bar charged with assaulting Jane Lyons, and stealing from her person a bag, a scarf, and other ar ticles. Jane Lyons resides at Woodford. She was going down Hackney-marsh on the 3lst August, to milk the cows. She had a bag, which contained a scarf, Bs. 3d., a pocket hand kerchief, and two purses. She had to pass over Lea-bridge. There was nobody on it. One of the prisoners came up to her (pointing toAndrewaand Waters.) He asked fora halfpenny worth"of milk. He threw the bag up, the penny pieces rattled, being. loose. There were six of them who came up and pushed her down.. They kept her down till they got the bag from her. She struggled a great deal. She was very fr►ghtened. The tuck was torn out of her frock when she got'up. She looked to see after them, and saw the foiir prisoners looking into the bag. She cried out for assistance, and they all ran up along by the river. They were pursued and taken at Bow.. Some of the boys were in the river; but certainly not the prisoners. The evidence was conclusive against two of the pri soners, and the Jury pronounced a verdict of Guilty against Waters and Andrews ; and against Duff and Gard ner, Not Guilty. FORGERY. Richard Randall was put to the bar under an indict ment for forging and uttering a counterfeit bill of exchange drawn for 142!., with intent to defraud Lea Wilson and others. Mr. ALLEY stated 'the case for the prosecutors, who are eminent silk-mercers and manufacturers. The prisoner was charged with forging, not only the bill, but the indorse ment. • , The prisoner being called on for his defence, proceeded to read a long written, paper, in which I+ disowned all knowledge of the forgery, having taken the bill in payment for goods of one Charles Robinson—Not Guilty. William Currie, aged I'7, was found guilty of embezzling money to the amount of 8/. Bs., the property of Wynne Ellis, his employers—Tiansported for seven years. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 18. Mrs. W. West, of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, appeared to exhibit articles of the peace against her husband, Mr. William West, comedian, of the Haymarket Theatre. The articles de tailed a series of , injuries received by her from the bands of her husband. About two years ago, upon the birth of her first child, the husband told her that their marriage which took place in Scotland was not binding. He frequently struck his wife without any provocation, and made use of the most terrific threats. Though they both lived under the same roof, they occupied diffe rent apartments ; the husband giving as a reason that he was un well, and in no very delicate terms told her so. He said, she was " a faded flower, and might go to -, and that he was de termined to marry Miss Lawrence, of Drury-lane Theatre, his own Marriage being illegal." The husband frequently seized his wife hy the throat, and nearly choked her. The last act of yio-1 lence was committed on the 7th of September, when he seized her by the arm, and pinched it to that degree that it caused strong 'inflammation, and she was obliged to have leeches immediately. put to it. The articles went on to state, that Mrs. West was in fear of her life, her husband having threatened repeatedly to be the death► of her. She therefore prayed the protection of the Court. _ - _ The CnAtamax inquired as to the circumstances of the de feudaut 7_ . . Mr. Barry, who appeared fur Mrs. West stated that her hus band was in good circumstances; he was in partnership as music seller, and is engaged as u comedian at the Haymarket Theatre. • The Citmem AN then bound the husband to keep the peace to, wards his wife, himself in lOW. and two sureties in 251. each. The case excited a great deal of sympathy in the Court, and the unfortunate lady seemed to feel forcibly her unpleasant situation.• Wm. Lee was indicted for fraudulently obtaining some butter, bacon, &c., the prOperty of Parker. It appeared the prisoner went about representing himself to be an officer of Ilatton-garden police, and employed by different ;Jerson* to collect rtmatt debts fot . them, through the 'medium of the Court of Requests ; it was by this representation that the prisoner was trusted. Evidence was called to prove that, he was not what he represented -.himself, and that he had imposed upon several other persons by the same story, He was found Guilty. The prisonermiaa,charged upon a second indictment, with frau dulently obtaintng Ss. from-Esther Elliott, in the name of Wil liam Lee, an offixet„of the HattOn-garden police. The prisoner, in thii case, met the husband of the prosecutrix taking a woman to the watch-house, whom he suspected had robbed him of a watch. The risoner produced a staff, said he was Lee, the officer of Hatton-garden, and had the King's authority to take the woman in charge. He afterwards went to the bowie of the pro-: minutia, and insisted upon searching it ; having done so, he de manded be. for his trouble, but took Ss., Wing all the woman had. Evidence having been examined to prove the facts, he was . found Gui lty. The Court Sentenced him to IS 'pond's' impri sonment in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. Aaron Dub, a marine, was sentenced to IS months! impri sonment, for au wattle of an indelicate nature upon Curtis, an infant eight years of age. The particulars of this brutal as sault are too disgusting to be given. Suffice it to say, the fact was clearly established, and the Chairman, in passing sentence, Observed, it was so heinous an offence, that the sentence was scarcely heavy enough. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

The object of the meeting was to • devise some measures to suppress the dreadful riots and outrages that take place every night in the parish, by a lawless gang of thieves, consisting of .500 or 600, whose exploits have caused such alarming sensations in the minds of the inhabitants , . that they have actually found it neces sary to shut up their shops at an early hour, to protect their property from the ruffians. In order to give some idea of the outrages that have and are hourly cemmitted,. we merely give the following. in stances, and the disciplined manner in which the ruffians go to work. • , The gang,rendezvous in abrick-field at the top of Spicer- . street, Spitalfields, and out-poste are stationed to give as alarm, should any of the civil power approach, and their , cry is " Warhawk," as a signal for retreat. On the brick kilns in this field they cook whatever meat and potatoes they plunder from the various shops in the neighbourhood, in the open day, and in the face of the shopkeepers. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, being market days, (Monday and Friday at Smithfield, and Wednesday at Barnet) they sally out into the suburbs, and wait in ambush till a drove of beasts passes; they then attack the drovers, and take a beast from the drove, and convey it, into the marshes till night ; when they hunt it through the, metropolis, and whilst the passengers and inhabitants are in the utmost state of alarm, they plunder, and in . many instances nearly .murder, .every.person that -they meet there are now no less than:five individuals lying in the Lou don Infirmary, without hopes of recoverl, that have fallen into the hands of the gang. Within the last fortnighti upwards . of 50 persons have been robbed, and cruelly ; beaten, and one of the gang was seen one day hist week to prOducei amongst some of his associates, nearly half a 110 4 • full of , watches, In consequence :of these dreadful outrages, the Right Hon: Secretary gave orders that' a reinforcement of 40 men, most of them mounted, should ,he stationed in tlif , ferent parts of the parish, and that they Should be relieved every three henry, and with instructions to patrol the dis turbed parts day and night, which - is now the case. In addition to these measures, a magistrate was in attendance yesterday (Sunday) at the police-office, in order to hear cases against any of the marauders, should they be brought before him, and the Hon. Secretary has further ordered, that for the future"the magistrates shall sit every mornieg at ten instead of eleven o'clock. On Wednesday last the gang attacked a lady 1 goil. tleman that were in a chaise in the Bethnal-green-rn" and after robbing and beating them most inhumanly, cut the reins and traces to prevent a pursuit. The Secretary, of State on Saturday last had an inter the •view with the Magistrates of the district, respecting . e , state of that part of the metropolis, and anxiously inquir We understaid if the robbers were distressed weavers? but that t hey that an answer was given in the negative, were a set of idle and disorderly fellows that have been long known to the police as reputed thieves. The deputation remained with. Mr. Peel till on e 0 and explained to him the necessity of a stro n g body. 01 men (in addition to those already stationed there) being rant into the neighbourhood, as they felt confide nt that tee robbers, .who were well armed, would boldly attack hey have done before) the civil power. The Right. Hon. Secreitarrassured the deputation, that 'mediate means :.should be adopted to rid the parish 0 a intruders. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.
